Thanks for the vote of confidence Martin. When I posted that comment, I didn’t realize ndkid2775 had his axle re-bent to lower his truck.

During my career, I worked In the machine shop in a nuclear power plant, rebuilding industrial pumps, fans, valves, etc. which involved replacement of shafts, bushings which had interference fits that were either pressed or shrunk into place (either heat, dry ice or liquid nitrogen).

I have never replaced king pins before and I know with any project, knowledge is the key to success so having you guys at my back is priceless!

I’m off to buy that press
